Still valid. On a system with lots of Users, there are thousands of

automatically deleted after sending them - or at least some kind of

Surely leaving temporary files in a public directory for emails composed
many days ago and which have long been sent is not an elegant or well

In any case, this only started happening after upgrading to Ubuntu
19.10.

Are you sure those files remain in /tmp after exiting thunderbird?
I just tested this locally, when composing an e-mail a file
/tmp/nsemail.eml was created, but after I exited thunderbird it was
deleted.
